Ebay made a code change late last Thursday (4/19) or early Friday that has caused the "include description" button to not work the same as before. If I type in key words AND choose a category from the main drop-down box, my checked "include description" stays on and works as it has for many years. However, when I change my key words and DO NOT select a category from that drop-down box (ie. stay in the category I was in), the "include description" automatically goes un-checked. Happens every time since late last week. As an everyday ebay searcher, I believe this is something they need to correct as a bug from the most recent code change. If you didn't realize the box unchecked itself, you'd miss out on a ton of listings that you would no longer see.

Using Firefox, with Sort set to "Newly Listed" and the display set to 100 records per page....type in "pennant" in the top search box and select "Collectibles" as the category, and hit search. Then click "include description" and hit search again. Then type "banner" in the same drop down box and hit search...the include description box goes unchecked when the next page comes up. Still happening today and I noticed this first happening two Fridays ago (4/20) when ebay apparently did some minor display changes.
Also, I search ebay nearly every single day and have done so for 15+ years. Not a major bug, but fairly annoying when you are changing search parameters quite often and have to keep re-checking that box every time.
